are other headphones compatible with this radio?? I have had past problems with sony in using other headphones that are not sony supplied.

We purchased this for a gift so we didn't open it. My son thinks it would be compatible with others but not sure so you better ask someone that maybe was able to try others. So sorry, we could not be of more help. Good Luck....

No i dont believe so but we only used our pair once bc they are terrible quality. Sony is usually way better than this! Good luck!

I don't think so. There is an "audio in" jack in the back. I tried plugging in my iPod earbuds and the sound continued from the radio speakers. There is also an "audio in" button on the side of the unit so I pushed that. No change. I looked in the instructions, and that jack is to connect this radio to another piece of audio equipment with the included cable. I'm surprised it doesn't work with headphones. Sorry this isn't more definitive.

I've used the headphones that come with the iPhone as well as other sets, no issues at all.

I'm afraid you are limited to headphones from Apple themselves. They have basically locked out anyone who wants to use Bluetooth headphones with the iPod functionality.

JM, I have two FM radios which each use their own single ploe antenna. The Sony has a permanently attached 20-inch insulated wire. The Sangean has a 33-inch insulated wire which plugs into the earphone jack _when_ I am listing via the built-in speaker. When using the headphones, the headphone cable replaces the single-function antenna cable and the headphone cable acts as the antenna. Maybe the solution is easier than you think. An insulated 20-33 inch insulated wire attached to the antenna terminal my solve your problem. ALSO, try using headphones, instead, to see if the headphone cable functions as an antenna and improves reception. JM, I have two FM radios which each use their own single ploe antenna.

I was unable to get the sony headset to work as a Bluetooth player with my bluedio headphones but it works excellent to send music from another Bluetooth device e.g. like a phone to my sony noise canceling headphones which I attach it to. It also works great as a wired player to non-Bluetooth headphones by playing music on the micro sd card. I wish it could work as a bt player to bt headphones but I think it is a receiver and not a transmitter for sounds and that is why it cannot broadcast TO bt headphones on its own but can act as a receiver of other devices transmitting over bt. Hope this helps. It is an awesome device.

I've tried external antennas on other products with limited success. I don't think it is necessary on this Sony product. Note the Amazon reviews of external antennas and you'll see not many are thrilled with the results. You may need to adjust the location of the radio a bit, but I've found the stations come in better than when I used a Cambridge Soundworks radio with a plug-in external antenna that "supposedly" boosted the input.

As long as both gadgets have Bluetooth they pair together.The headphones are great for any sport and sweatprofed as well.Little bulky but if you want good sound and great base you can't beat Sony.

mine have not worked since I got them. Neither Sony nor Amazon was ready to make good on the headphones. I do not recommend them at all..

I don't have a problem with it. Mine is a sony headphone from target (around $20). I would imagine most, if not all, suitable headphones will fit with ease.

I have used with ipod and works very good, not problem with blue tooth conection..the only thing that i do not like is because i use glasses and the sony mdr is a little anoying using borh and working out...

Yes, standard earphones ok with this radio. A good radio value for money. Big external speaker compared to other pocket radios. You may only receive mono sound on the headphone (not stereo).

I bought the system (receiver and headphone) and an extra headphone and it works fine. only the first time I used the extra headphone I needed to pair it with the receiver through the ID set button on the receiver. very direct no hassle. I hope you got your problem fixed.

I bought a pair of Sony headphones after I purchased the stereo and they work great! My husband is watching TV and I'm listening to Christmas music. The model # to headphones that sound really good is...MDR-ZX300 from Amazon.

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.

There have already been replies on lack of a headphone jack. A bigger liability on this player is it's limitations on playing CD-R's. I have an old boombox that can play CD-R's that the Sony SCD-CE595 fails on.
